I am 20 years old female and have never really suffered from acne as a teenager. As an adult now I have a lot more breakouts. Most of them are post acne marks that will not go away. I've tried Proactiv, antibiotics, differin, and so many other products to clear my skin. I was reading up on birth control and saw that it could clear skin. Could this be an option for me? I have tried almost everything and do not want to be put on Accutane which I know has serious side effects. Can birth control pills really clear the skin?
I never suffered as a teen either, but ever since college I have. Proactiv sucks. The birth control pill Yaz helped me out, you could try that. Also, it seems like it would be the opposite, but I think my skin is clearer when I use a moisturizer.
